Marathon Maniac #957

    For me so far:

     

    4/07   Xenia HM - Xenia, OH

    4/27   Kentucky Derby Marathon- Lousiville, KY

    6/01   Another Dam 50K - Englewood, OH

     

    Seriously thinking about doing the Moab Trail Marathon in the fall with Wildchild. Anyone adventurous to join?

     

    Also probably the Mill Race Marathon in Columbus, IN on 9/28, which looks to be a bit of an RA meet-up..

    Life is a headlong rush into the unknown. We can hunker down and hope nothing hits us or we can stand tall, lean into the wind and say, "Bring it on, darlin', and don't be stingy with the jalapenos."

        This is pissing me off.  I think I've been cloned.  While this may be scary too some of you, it is even more so for me....

          I think he spells his name with double n and there is é in his last name ? Don't know him, but know who he is and will run with him in near future.

           

          yup.

           

          Always wanted to head north for the Canadian Death Race, cuz well, it's got Death in the title

          (I'm about 30 minutes south of Seattle)

           

          good luck

            Big grin

             

             

            and I figured out from your planed races that you would be from somewhere around Tacoma.

            Slow and steady never wins anything.

               

              yup.

              There is a 3 mile bike path near my house. If I hold a race on it and call it  "The 'Couve Death 5K" will you show up?

              SELFISH, like you.

                I just entered the Mt. Washington lottery. Nothing like kicking the week off with total stupidity.

                      Heh, Spring! It's already Summer in Florida, mid-80s last weekend. Ugh!

                       

                      Flying to Birmingham in mid-April for the Team 413 Half-Marathon. Never been to Alabama so I'm looking forward to the trip.

                        I'm stalkng you...

                         

                        Damn another groupie.  I thought my side kick was supposed to take care of these people.  Guess she is too damn busy being overlord and shit.

                         

                        Guess I will have to talk to you so you will stop stalking me.  So why Xenia and the derby?  For me Xenia is a warmup run and the derby is to get the lovely state of Kentucky checked off the 50 states list.  Chicago is the goal race since I will be pacing friends at the other two.   Those idiots better qualify for Boston or I'm going to be kicking some serious ass in the summer.

                          I help Holly S stalk you, she is a fine groupie to have!   You should thank me really.  Cool

                           

                          Proofread carefully to see if you any words out.

                            Thanks, guys. It is gonna be Vermont City for me. The date works, it's relatively close, the course seems reasonable, and there's a buffer day (Memorial Day) between the race and work.

                             

                            tl;dr: What made it hard was that Rick and Jen put on great events and are friends of mine.  But I'd mainly be running the loop with ultra folks who are pacing for 50k or 24, 48 or 72 hours. There's a good chance I'd be the only guy racing 1 x 26.2 at my particular pace in a throng of ultra runners. It may be my only shot at a BQ this year.

                             

                            Just an FYI, there was a guy last year that did 84 miles in the 12 hour.  (about 8:30 avg) but he started much faster and then slowed down.  Not sure how fast you plan on running but it is not like you would have to dodge around all these walkers.  Ultra runners do run these loop races.

                             

                            You are still welcome to come out and get in a run.  See what it is like and get a flavor of a timed race.

                              Gee Thanks.  However, a stalkers job is to follow someone without them noticing.  Maybe you guys should revisit that topic.  Glad to hear she has been IIene approved though.

                                If I'd actually been training instead of drinking I'd say we could run this together since I'm registered for Vermont City.
